Topiramate is a sulfamate derivative of the naturally occurring monosaccharide D-fructose. It was initially approved in the United States as adjunctive therapy for partial seizures in 1997. However, there is increasing evidence that it is effective in the treatment of generalized seizures and
Topiramate is a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide used in the treatment of seizures, and prophylaxis of migraine. A number of ocular side-effects have been described with use of topiramate, like bilateral angle closure, acute myopia and macular striae. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) clinches the
OBJECTIVE
Topiramate is a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide anticonvulsant used as adjunctive therapy for intractable refractory seizures. It is report a case of topiramate-induced urolithiasis.
METHODS
A 35-year-old man presented with acute, right-sided, colicky flank pain. He denied hematuria
Topiramate is a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide that has demonstrated efficacy as an antiepileptic drug in adults with partial onset seizures. Experience in children has been limited, but early reports have supported its safety and effectiveness in children as young as 2 years of age. In two
Topiramate, a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide, is a new antiepileptic drug (AED) approved as adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures in adults. Topiramate is rapidly absorbed, has linear pharmacokinetics, minimal protein binding and a long half-life facilitating a twice-daily dosage
Since 1990 eight new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been developed. Among these new drugs, Topiramate (TPM) is one of the latest AEDs available for treating drug resistant partial epilepsy both in adults and in children. The mechanisms underlying TPM antiepileptic activity are still incompletely
Topiramate, a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide (2,3:4, 5-bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-beta-D-fructopyranose sulfamate), is a new antiepileptic drug, which has been approved for adjunctive therapy in adult patients with partial-onset seizures. Liquid-liquid extraction followed by flow-injection
OBJECTIVE
Topiramate (TPM) is an antiepileptic agent, first licensed in the United Kingdom in 1994, that is used in the treatment of patients with refractory seizure disorders. TPM is a monosaccharide d-fructose derivate, with sulfamate function, and so far, few adverse side effects have been
Positive caloric balance often causes pathologic adipocyte and adipose tissue anatomical and functional changes (termed adiposopathy or 'sick fat'), which may lead to pathogenic adipocyte and adipose tissue responses and metabolic disease. Fat weight loss may improve adiposopathy, and thus improve
The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, drug interactions, and dosage of topiramate are reviewed. Topiramate is indicated for use in the adjunctive treatment of adult partial-onset epilepsy. A sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide, it is structurally distinct from
Topiramate is biochemically classified as a fructopyranose sulphamate. Discovered as early as 1979, during middle 1980's it was approved in many countries for the treatment of epilepsies and migraine prevention. More recently, in the experimental stage, possible new indications have been disclosed:
Phentermine hydrochloride is a noradrenergic sympathetic amine approved for decades by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at doses as high as 37.5 mg/day for the short-term treatment of obesity. Topiramate is a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide marketed since 1996, and approved by the
The antiepileptic drug (AED) topiramate is a monosaccharide derivative with a sulfamate functionality. It modulates voltage-dependent sodium conductance, potentiates gamma-aminobutyric acid-evoked currents, and blocks the kainate/AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid)
Topiramate is a sulphamate-substituted monosaccharide derived from D-fructose and is structurally unrelated to other antiepileptic drugs. It acts by multiple mechanisms that suggest it may be effective in several types of epilepsy. In double-blind placebo-controlled trials, add-on therapy with
Gangliosides are expressed on all vertebrate cells and tissues, but are particularly abundant in the mammalian brain, where they constitute major cell-surface determinants on all nerve cells. The same four ganglioside structures, GM1, GD1a, GD1b, and GT1b, constitute the great majority of brain
